As the Pendulum Swings
Archive for January 2012
Pause. Skip. Fast-Forward.
Pause. Suspended in reality. There is only today. No yesterday. And no tomorrow. Just today. Time thought of as a linear concept becomes only that. A concept. In the pause, I see pieces strewn about. Some torn from other realities, others borrowed, and some with no known origin. The tapestry weaves itself using these bits, … Continue reading
I Am Not God : 30 Days of Truth
Day 05: Something you hope you never have to do. Decisiveness is not my strong point. I realize that certain choices can have long lasting effects. One choice can start a major chain reaction, cascading through many aspects of life, for better or worse. I have difficulty evaluating which decision will yield the best results, … Continue reading
Invitations to Narnia : 30 Days of Truth
Day 05 : Something you hope to do in your life. As it stands, one can find me within the wardrobe amongst the coats, between the real world and my Narnia. This is not the Narnia as others know it. It is the absolutely surreal, ever shifting landscape, containing both horrific monsters and beautiful, majestic … Continue reading
Bipolar Disorder and Sleep Patterns - New Poll.
Reblogged from Voices of Glass: Ok here is something different and please understand that this is new to me and so I am still muddling my way through it all – so please bear with me.

Liebster is a German word that literally translates to “dearest”, “favorite”, and “beloved”. By giving this award, one blogger says to another, “This is a favorite and beloved blog.” I am … Continue reading
Mommy Cries Too
Warning: This post has controversial and potentially disturbing content surrounding suicide, psychic trauma, and child abuse. Reader’s discretion is strongly advised. It started as a whimpering, jaw tight with a lip curled over. Soft, pattering, high pitched little noises, not much to even notice over the ambient noise. The realities of what played out in … Continue reading
I Ain’t Afraid of No SOPA
Emblazoned on the frontpage of Wikipedia: Imagine a World Without Free Knowledge It didn’t take a lot of imagination yesterday. When you went to Google, there is a giant black censor block. I logged onto WordPress, and found myself staring at a page filled with censored blogs, where there should have been featured blogs. Upon … Continue reading
Blog for Mental Health 2012 – A Hit!
A few days ago, I started a project I call Blog for Mental Health 2012. I suppose, by now, the greater majority of mental health bloggers are aware of it. I am amazed by the overwhelming response to it! In this small amount of time, I have received a great deal of feedback, as well … Continue reading
Admissions of a Birthday Girl
Tomorrow marks another year closer to three decades of my existence on Planet Earth. Admittedly, there is, and always has been a strong contradiction between the number of birthdays I’ve celebrated, the age of my face, and the age of my soul. If everyone in the world forgot the year I was born, I would … Continue reading
The Bipolar Language
How do you describe bipolar disorder to others who do not have it? Most of the population experiencing bipolar disorder have heralded it as something “people can’t fully understand unless they have been through it.” Being a member of that group, I can wholeheartedly agree. In my personal attempts to convey the complexity of bipolar … Continue reading
